Round About LeRoy (Cup O’ Dirt Metric #4)

The route began at the city park, took me northeast into Anderson County, to the tiny village of Aliceville, and back to Leroy. After a quick refuel at Luther’s C-Store, I rode towards the southwest, and Woodson County, finding some great minimum-maintenance dirt roads along the way.

I think Google was closer to the truth, but nevertheless, I rode it.The very best cycling roads, for those of us who love remoteness, quiet, and scenic beauty.More scenic minimum maintenance roads in Woodson County Kansas.Climbing into the sky…

I enjoy riding bicycles all over -- city streets, suburbia, rural roads, gravel roads, dirt roads, rail-trails, and singletrack. I love exploring the countryside and finding the interesting and historical treasures hidden in plain sight. You can follow my rides on Strava.
